[@TroutInTrouble]

I still can't wrap my head around how amazing he is. I think most people don't even understand.

[@TheDennzio]

nah we get it

[@ericcongdon]

great stuff faheys just so weird I love him

[@Marco_Venieri]

the melody at 4:40 is pure beauty. Music for soul, memory and emotion

[@marsellus-82]

any chance we can find a tab somewhere? I also love that part

[@RickyBlackwell_X]

@@marsellus-82 also trying to find tabs, but the only way it's try to play it when you watch at John's play it here. Someday, if I will play this, maybe make some lesson, cause I think I will can play it soon. Sorry for my eng, greetings from Russia.

[@mariebbr44]

any chance you figured this part out? Or at the least, know what recorded tune this is from?

[@Marco_Venieri]

​@mariebbr44 i was searching for this but I didn't find anything

[@AntonioPerez-qr9gm]

Anyway brilliant. Notice how he es focused on the melody, really concentrated. He mix ideas meanwhile the shows. I think he improvise 50%. Absolutely marvellous

[@jrw344]

Sublime, with muses at his side. Genius, although damaged...

[@soulrevolution]

The 1st part later titled "Ananaias" the second half is "Dalhart Texas 1967" from America, so many title changes Fahey....

[@rlutge]

palo alto, california, early eighties.

[@hgievcm]

I was living in the south bay from 1980 on... and loved Fahey back then. Jeez, I can't imagine my not seeing this show! One of my many regrets. Thanks for posting this.

[@beckchristian67]

According to another tapes of this concert it might have ben taken in 1984. Saw him in Chicago area in 85/86 when he was drinking coca's ...

[@fenderboy88]

I believe that on another album this piece was also titled ''Melody Mcbrad''

[@russelsheartinacage]

rlutge you are my hero

Whew!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sinisterbuthappy208]

Should have given the dude an electric with a bit of fuzz

[@glennjones4966]

"Portland Cement Factory"?! Sorry, no. Rabbiascabbia has it right: "Melody McBad / Grand Finale" from the Visits Washington DC album. Randy: this is about the best live Fahey footage I know of. You ought to look into getting it issued commercially -- the complete show, with improved sound, etc. It's much better than the Rockpalast DVD. I may be able to help -- get in touch.

[@nashwilliams5852]

Glenn Jones hey love your guitar playing, especially anchor chain blues. I understand you had the opportunity to work with fahey and collaborate on an album, something every sane person wishes they could do. Much respect-Nash

[@beckchristian67]

Il s'agit bien du "Grand finale"

[@JohnSmith-ij6ms]

@chris m that isnt portland cement factory

[@Nayersayer]

The entire first section is "Medley: Interlude; Portland Cement Factory" from the album God, Time, and Causality. However, instead of going into "Portland", he starts playing a version of "Grand Finale". You're all half right.

[@beckchristian67]

When and where this tape has been taken ? Looks after 198 5

[@drapeblind]

otherwise known as dalhart, texas
